Welcome Message

Welcome to my home on the web.

I want this to be a place where we talk about a different side of ADHD, the personal side, the human side, feelings about yourself and your relationships. I will give you my perspective that comes from working for 15 years with women and men with ADHD. I have often had the opportunity and the privilege to see people grow over several years and I've been able to observe and appreciate their shifting challenges.

Over the years, I have developed a framework for understanding what makes the difference between those who get stuck sometime after diagnosis and those who continue to grow and move on. I find it has been helpful to share this with my clients so they can understand the developmental milestones in the lives of adults with ADHD and I have developed this site as a place to share these thoughts with you. My perspective has also evolved from my own journey of living with ADHD as well as from people all over world who have shared their stories with me.

I hope this will be a place to talk about those shifting and important challenges and issues that emerge long past diagnosis --questions of identity, meaning, authenticity; questions about how you form a new identity and sense of purpose, and how to organize your life in deeper ways beyond a new Franklin planner.

My goal is to give you a great place to explore and express yourself and to guide you in choosing experiences to help you on your life long journey - whether you are just starting out or if your feeling a little lost months or years after diagnosis.

I want this site to be a relaxing but active place - a warm place to check in, communicate, and connect with others. I'll very much enjoy sharing with you some of my own thoughts, recommendations and tips. I'll tell you about the products and services I offer and about the things I'm doing or things I hear about that I think are worth while.

I first became known to many of you because of the book I wrote about women with ADHD. But I also work equally with men and couples. My second book Journeys through ADDulthood explores and identifies the long term journeys or passages that both men and women with ADHD will travel through as they learn to live successfully with differences.

I have a great deal of affection for adults with ADHD and respect for the tremendous struggles they face each day, invisible and sometimes incomprehensible to many around them. You need a place to sit back and relax, talk, feel understood and to share your understanding with others. You are the experts on yourselves and I have learned a tremendous amount from you. I have also received incredible support from people all over the world since the publication of my first book and this is a way for me to give back to you and to find a way to stay connected to you.

So I hope you will return to this site frequently and join other women and men around the world in an exploration of the challenges and gifts of living with ADHD.
